Book #42: Size 14 Is Not Fat Either by Meg Cabot

This is the second book in the Heather Wells series. After solving the murders in the first book, Heather thought they were in the clear--until one morning someone finds a cheerleader's head in a pot on the stove in the dorm kitchen. Nobody knows what happened to her or to the rest of her body--so Heather starts trying to figure it out. She gets much more over-the-top involved in this one--she goes undercover into a fraternity to investigate the guys she suspects there, she involves a student that she's befriended to help her, and she ends up in a dangerous situation in the end after she's figured out who it was. Thank goodness for her or else nobody would know who did it!

The other funny aspect of this series is Heather's obsession with her landlord and ex-boyfriend's brother, Cooper. She is totally in love with him even though she paints a picture of him as being totally unreachable and unattainable: smart, educated, hardworking, mysterious, into artsy things and not reality TV--and yet he's obviously interested in her even though she's kind of the opposite in every way. I don't know if the whole romance is totally believable to me--mainly because since we're inside Heather's head, and she sounds kind of ditzy, in a fun and friendly way, but not in a way that Cooper would really be interested in her. But oh well--it's still fun to read.
